Following on from the UK Top 20 success of 2022's 30 Something (LMS 5521698), and the Top 10 for 2023's Optical Delusion (LMS 5521858), London Records launch an extensive 2024 campaign for Orbital, revisiting 1991's seminal debut Orbital (The Green Album). The Green Album heralded a brave new world for the UK musical landscape (DJ Mag would later decry that the album "rewrote the rule book for rave"). Brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll eschewed formulas and clichés, choosing to explore wider textures, rhythms and stranger mind spaces within dance music. Their resulting album would enjoy both chart success and an enduring legacy, influencing and inspiring artists from Björk to Bicep, with the Hartnoll brothers going on to collaborate with artists as diverse as Madonna, Ennio Morricone, Kraftwerk, Sleaford Mods, and Professor Brian Cox. 33 years since its original release, the album is revisited.
